Tribulation of Myriad Races-Chapter 1234: Fiery Sea Fall (3)

Zhang Qi's palm seemed to be endlessly enlarging as it descended upon Wan Tiansheng, upon Nanyuan, and upon the ruin all at the same time. He said, "You might not suspect anything, but the same can't be said for everyone else. The others might be suspicious of more, but they have merely been keeping silent about it. With all of you dead, the matter will naturally end for real."

He looked at the nearby Yellow Department head and asked, "Am I right, Yellow Department head?"

The department head was fighting the tri-life bodies of two Invincibles alongside First Profound. When he heard the question, he looked over and sighed, "Why are you asking me that? I'm not the one suspecting that there is a second traitor. I'm not who you think I am..."

Zhang Qi blanked out slightly. He said, "You..."

The Yellow Department head laughed, "Please don't tell me you think I'm that certain newbie. You're wrong. My apologies."

Zhang Qi said nothing and continued bringing his palm down.

With a helpless tone, the Yellow Department head said, "I'm telling the truth. Why must you doubt me?"

He swore inwardly that he had never even considered the possibility of a second traitor.

Then, he crushed his mask and smiled, "See? Can you trust me now?"

Instantly, Zhang Qi's expression changed.

Wan Tiansheng, who was under great suppression by Zhang Qi's aura, also turned his head with great difficulty to satisfy his curiosity. That...was not a face he knew. How odd.

A human Invincible?

Suddenly, Zhu Tiandao blasted the immortal king he was facing away before shouting in frustration, "Niu Baidao, I told you I'm not my elder brother. See? Do you trust me now? He's here! How many times did I tell you this? But your stupid brain refused to believe me. You even insisted that I spent three hundred years wearing diapers!"

Niu Baidao looked at the Yellow Department head before looking at Zhu Tiandao in stupefaction. The two...looked quite similar.

The department head greeted with a smile, "Greetings, Principal Niu."

"Uhm...you..."

Everyone was so surprised that they even neglected the fact that Wan Tiansheng was on the verge of being beaten to death. Then again, it wasn't like they could do anything in time.

"Greetings, everyone. I'm Zhu Tianfang."

The handsome department head smiled and said, "Us brothers are known as Tianfang (square sky) and Diyuan (round earth). Remember, I'm Zhu Tianfang, not Zhu Diyuan..."

Zhu Tiandao cursed and said, "Our uncultured old man was terrible at giving names. I'm now known as Zhu Tiandao."

Yes, his original name was Zhu Diyuan.

Niu Baidao was completely dumbfounded.

So everything had been one big misunderstanding? The Yellow Department head was Great Ming King's first son. He was still alive, but he had not transformed himself into Zhu Tiandao. He was still himself. He was still Zhu Tianfang. He had simply remained in hiding.

It was widely known that the Yellow Department head was already an Invincible over a hundred years ago. In short, Zhu Tianfang had affirmed his dao long ago.

With an apologetic tone, Zhu Tianfang said, "My apologies, Principal Niu. In truth, my old man found two ruins back then. He used one himself. The second was prepared for you. But you spent days scolding him after failing to snatch a ruin for yourself. Thus, he threw a tantrum and kept the ruin from you. Eventually, I was born so he decided to give it to me instead. He rationalized that since you were so unlucky, the ruin would be wasted in your hands. Sorry again, Principal."

"..."

That explanation was followed by a suffocating silence. Everyone had forgotten about the descending palm of annihilation.

Suddenly, Zhang Qi's expression changed drastically, as though he had recalled something important. Immediately, a River of Time unfurled from the space beside him. He started summoning his bodies over without any hesitation.

He could no longer keep his bodies in the Allheaven Battlefield. He had thought that the Yellow Department head was a certain someone, but he was wrong. And in this business, a single mistake could prove fatal.

Extremely fatal.

The Yellow Department head was actually someone he had not expected. The first born of Great Ming King was actually a real person instead of a lie. He was still alive. He wasn't even Zhu Tiandao. Unknown to everyone, he had entered the Allheaven Battlefield and joined the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. He had even climbed the ranks in the pavilion, becoming one of the department heads of the organization.

Zhang Qi was hit by a realization that he had miscalculated gravely. According to what he knew and his guesses, the Yellow Department head was supposed to be Zhou Tianyuan. Zhou Tianyuan, better known as the Junior Zhou King, the younger brother of Great Zhou King.

He was well aware of the research Zhou Polong had been conducting. He suspected the survival of Zhou Tianyuan. He also suspected that Zhou Tianyuan was hiding in the dark to investigate something...

That was why he had resolutely appeared after both Fiery Sea and Wan Tiansheng were exhausted from their battle. He aimed to kill Wan Tiansheng and the Yellow Department head, eliminating any potential threat to him. He was confident enough in his strength to do that.

But he was mistaken. The department head was not Zhou Tianyuan. Rather, that was someone else entirely.

The Yellow Department head sighed, "You're trying to assemble your main body? Looks like you're determined to wipe us out."

He smiled, "Sure enough, that guy was right. From how certain things were done, it was impossible for there to be only one culprit. There would be at least two of them. Fiery Sea wasn't capable enough to hide his involvement so well. Someone must have been assisting him. And Fiery Sea was dumb enough to not even know of the assistance. He was so proud of his nonexistent cunning. In truth, he was one of our suspects..."

"What's the point of saying this after the truth is exposed?" Zhu Tiandao spat, "Why didn't you say this earlier? Who did you learn this from? Is our old man aware of this?"

"Yes." The department head sighed, "But I now worry that we won't have enough time. This person here...is the real big fish we have been trying to catch."

The traitor was too quick to react. He had only exposed himself to buy more time and protect Wan Tiansheng. But as a result, the traitor had summoned his bodies unhesitatingly. Sure enough, that person was right. The traitor should not be underestimated. He had underestimated the traitor's decisiveness.

***

Allheaven Battlefield.

Great Zhou King frowned and gazed at the distance. With a sigh, he shook his head, "You...I can't believe this. I don't want to believe this."

With a sigh, he departed, leaving Qin Zhen and Zhou Polong behind.

Zhou Polong was left frowning helplessly. This...was too fast.

Noticing the confused Qin Zhen beside him, he sighed and said, "What are you staring at? We're not affirming our dao anymore. Time to flee for our lives."

"Hmm?"

"Run."

Zhou Polong raised his voice in frustration. His uncle was gone. What else were they supposed to do? Why the fuck was this guy still staring blankly in confusion?

Fool!

They should start fleeing while the myriad race Invincibles were confused.

Only then did Qin Zhen react. He fled unhesitatingly. The surrounding human Invincibles also recovered as they hurriedly attacked the myriad race Invincibles who were trying to stop their escape.

Even as they fought, they were still stealing glances at the distance River of Time with stupefaction. There, someone was departing the Allheaven Battlefield. However, he was intercepted by Great Zhou King. A big battle ensued. Alas, that was no ordinary Invincible. Victory would not come to Great Zhou King easily.

The other human Invincibles were feeling completely confused. This was the most confused they had been after becoming Invincibles.

That man...had betrayed humanity?

When it was revealed that Fiery Sea was the traitor, nobody was surprised.

After all, Fiery Sea was known for his terrible temper. All was good as long as his betrayal was made known to all. When Fiery Sea died, they were even relieved. With the death of the traitor, they could finally put this worry behind them.

But when a different human Invincible tried to leave, and when even Great Zhou King was roaring furiously, they felt a great sense of helplessness.

Just why? Why him?

Great Zhou King roared furiously, "Why? Tell me! Why? Have you forgotten? Have you forgotten our vow when we fought the myriad races side by side?"

The other Invincible answered calmly, "I have not. But I can't see any hope in humanity. All I see in our future is blood. And death. I saw your death. I saw my death. If Ye Batian had succeeded, humanity would have been subjected to the joint attack of all the other races. This world we live in does not belong to humanity. I'm sorry, Brother Zhou. I only wish to buy a few hundred years of peace for humanity, even if the peace is merely an illusion."

"Why? You could have spoken to me! You could have voiced your doubts to me! Why must you betray us? You even instigated Fiery Sky to kill Ye Batian! Do you have any idea how big of a mistake that was?"

The other Invincible asked, "You have been suspecting me all along, right? We have a very good relationship. If you never suspected me, Tianyuan wouldn't have faked his death. Polong wouldn't have suggested the destruction of the multiple character faction to me so many times just to test me. Brother Zhou, you're too indecisive. You're not suited for your position as the leader of all human cultural researchers..."

He laughed, "I'm alone in this. If I do end up defeated, I hope you won't implicate anyone else with your anger. There is no third traitor among human Invincibles."

With that, he vanished from the Allheaven Battlefield. Great Zhou King roared in fury, indignance, and disbelief. He summoned the River of Time as well and rushed toward the Human Realm.

Before long, more myriad race Invincibles arrived. All of them appeared shocked. None had expected that the second traitor would be...that person. It wouldn't surprise them for anyone else to be a traitor. But that person...was not someone they had ever viewed as a traitor.

Someone asked with disbelief, "What could Great Han King possibly get from betraying humanity? He did spend many years stationed in the Knowledge Seeking Realm. No wonder...but...why?"

Nobody had ever suspected him. He had been the Invincible stationed at the Knowledge Seeking Realm for many years, but he had always stayed away from the mundane affairs. That was why the eight families had been emboldened to act as they did. In a way, his blatant neglect and disinterest were the main reasons nobody suspected him.
